You can't just go and not go to Turkey in the summer. This country has established itself as an excellent place for family vacations, and the tourists are very fond of hotels with children's animation and the concept of "all inclusive".
With such advantages, a small drawback in the form of an air temperature of + 40 ° C can be forgiven, especially since sun loungers are already placed under the awning on the beaches, and soft drinks are prepared in the coastal cafe, and the sea rustles so gently, so relaxing ...
About how the July heat is tolerated in Turkey and where is the best place to relax with children, read the Kidpassage article.
Holidays in Turkey in July: pros and cons
Summer and the sea are practically inseparable concepts. People want to sunbathe and swim, and even the heat that engulfs Turkey in July does not scare them. Is it worth going to resorts in one of the hottest months? Many people think it's worth it, and here's why:
- the bright sun, heated sand and warm sea water make the dream of a summer vacation come true;
- it is pleasant to relax on well-groomed Turkish beaches, and you can always hide from the sun under an umbrella or a canopy;
- thanks to animation in hotels, there is no need to worry that the child will be bored;
- most resorts have water parks and other family activities;
- markets are teeming with fresh vegetables and fruits;
- summer sale starts in shopping centers.
The cons of the July holiday will include:
- high prices for tickets and hotels;
- an unimaginable number of tourists at all resorts;
- heat, not suitable for relaxing with a baby;
- not the best time for an excursion to Istanbul.
In addition, in reviews of a vacation in Turkey in July, sometimes they complain about high humidity, which is difficult for people with heart disease to tolerate. Humidity is felt in different ways, and not everyone notice it.
To reduce the cost of vacation, it is worth considering in advance where to relax in Turkey in July. If you book a hotel or a ready-made tour a few months before the trip, you can save a lot.
It is more difficult to cope with the crowds at the resorts: even in small villages, only relative calm reigns.
Weather in Turkey in July
The weather in July-August can be described in two words - "scorching heat". When there are no rains or clouds for two months in a row, the sun heats up the air, and people can either rest on the shore, where the breeze is felt, or hide in the shade on the territory of hotels.
The weather in early July is already hot enough for the sea to warm up well. Actually, the water has time to warm up in June, and if your child wants to sit in the sea for an hour, nothing bad will happen (the main thing is that the sunscreen is waterproof).
Nobody complains about the weather in Turkey at the end of July either. Lovers of the sun and heat consider this time to be the best time for relaxation, although a mild September or October should still be preferred for a trip with babies.
Well, if you are going to Turkey with your child in July, you should learn about what the middle of summer is in Turkish.
Air and water temperature
Residents of some Mediterranean climates survive the July heat with siesta. There is no siesta in Turkey, and it would not hurt - the heat is serious here. Here are the data on the average temperature of water and air at several famous resorts:
The air temperature in Turkey in July easily reaches + 40 ° C and even at night rarely drops below + 25 ° C. It is often said that the heat on the coast is not felt, but the farther from the coast, the more difficult it is to endure high temperature and humidity.
But the water temperature in Turkey in July will make happy those who do not like the invigorating sea. In Mediterranean resorts, the water is traditionally warmer, but on the Aegean coast it is also comfortable to relax with a child.
Beach vacation
Even those tourists who cannot imagine a vacation without excursions prefer to bask on the beaches in July. In Turkey, all conditions have been created for this: the shore is carefully cleaned, the bottom is cleared, even rows of sun loungers, refreshments in coastal cafes and all kinds of water attractions await guests.
More than a hundred of the country's beaches are annually awarded the "Blue Flag" as a testament to the well-groomed, equipment and safety of the coast.
Most of Turkey's beaches are owned by hotels, although access to any part of the coast is open to everyone. Before the trip, it is worth asking about the beach of your chosen hotel.
Concrete platforms with ladders for descending into the water, beaches with a rocky bottom or with a sharp increase in depth can be inconvenient for relaxing with a child.
Fortunately, there are plenty of sandy and pebble beaches with a gentle entrance to the water in every region. Here are some options for where to go in Turkey in July so that your vacation at the sea will bring only joy.
Antalya
Already in early July, Antalya is full of heat: the air temperature during the day does not drop below + 3 ° C, but often rises to + 40 ° C. Not a single rain for the whole month, not a single cloud in the sky - is it surprising that the sea is in the middle of summer warms up to + 28-29 ° С?
But what is interesting is that the sea water seems cool to vacationers - in contrast to the hot air. So bathing is regarded as a refreshing procedure, and the sea breeze is regarded as salvation from high humidity.
In the high season, all the beaches of Antalya are overcrowded, and therefore it is worth choosing not so much a quiet coast as a convenient coast for families with children.
The Lara and Aksu-Kundu regions are famous for their good sandy beaches with a gentle entrance into the water.There are also many family hotels in these areas.
Bustling Antalya should be preferred if you want to complement your vacation with excursions and entertainment, but are not going to travel around the neighborhood. The city has architectural sights, museums, etc.
Tekirova
July in Tekirova, a resort village 20 km from Kemer, is very hot with high air humidity. During the day, the temperature ranges from + 30 ° С to + 35 ° С, at night it drops to + 23-27 ° С. Under such conditions, the sea warms up to + 27-29 ° С.
The beaches of the village are crowded in summer, but still there are clearly fewer holidaymakers than in large resorts. The coast in Tekirova is pebblyso safety slippers may come in handy. Many beaches have water attractions, playgrounds and sports grounds.
There is no special entertainment at the resort, so it is advisable to stay with a child at a hotel with a good animation program. Many hotels have a play area and swimming pools with children's slides. known for its impressive water park.
If you wish, you can go to Kirish, where it is located, in Kemer. 4 km from Tekirova is
Side
The weather in early, mid and late July in Side is the same: merciless sun, air temperature + 30-40 ° С during the day and + 24-30 ° С at night, light wind and high humidity. Tourists save themselves from the heat by swimming in the sea, although the water at this time does not refresh much, since it is warmed up to + 27-29 ° С.
The long sandy beaches of Side and neighboring villages are perfect for families with children. In order not to sunbathe in cramped conditions, you can go to the village of Colakli. There are fewer tourists, the coast is spacious, the entrance to the sea is shallow, and there are almost no waves.
In Side it is best to relax with toddlers who do not need a large-scale entertainment program yet.
Family hotels do quite well to organize the kids' leisure time. With older children, you can go to and to.
Avsallar
The main reasons not to go to Alanya, overcrowded with tourists, but to choose the resort Avsallar - the relative silence and rare sandy beaches for this area. In the weather, there is no difference: during the day + 30-35 ° С, at night about + 30 ° С, clear sky, barely noticeable breath of wind and the sea warmed up to + 28-29 ° С.
Avsallar beaches are very different from those of Alanya and neighboring resorts. There are very few rocky platforms here, the coast is covered with sand, a small-pebble strip at the entrance to the water almost does not interfere, and the bottom drops relatively smoothly.
But please note that the beaches are often very narrow, with sun loungers arranged in two rows occupying the entire coast.
If you get tired of a measured beach holiday, you can go to the best water park in Alanya Water Planet and the Sealanya Sea Park. Family hotels always have enough fun for preschoolers.
Avsallar is still one of the budget resorts; it is not difficult to find an inexpensive hotel or apartment here.
Ozdere
The difference between day and night temperatures in the village near Kusadasi is even comfortable. During the day, it goes off scale for + 30-35 ° С, but at night the thermometers drop to + 20-25 ° С.The daytime heat is softened only by the wind, stronger than in other resorts, about 4.2 m / s.
By the middle of summer, the sea in Ozdere has time to warm up to at least + 23 ° C. More often the water is even warmer, + 24-26 ° C.
If you go to the beach in the early morning, before the air gets hot, the sea will seem as warm as in Antalya and Alanya.
The village of Ozdere is chosen precisely as a place for a beach holiday, because here long sandy beaches with a gentle entrance to the water. The sea is sometimes so shallow that you need to move a dozen meters from the shore to swim. After lunch, waves may rise.
The disadvantage of the village is the distance from the main entertainment. It takes about half an hour to get to the Kusadasi water parks. In fairness, we add that some family hotels in Ozdere have small water parks and attractions.
Marmaris
If in June the heat in Marmaris was still rather mild, then in July the resort melts from the heat. Thermometers show + 30-36 ° С during the day and + 24-28 ° С at night, and there is not a single cloud that would cover the sun even for a while.
The water in the Aegean Sea is still slightly colder than in the Mediterranean. In mid-July, the sea temperature can range from + 24 ° C to + 27 ° C. This is quite enough for children to swim and play in the water.
The loose sandy beaches of Marmaris are well equipped, but congested during the high season. Somewhat quieter in the resort villages of Uzunyali and Icmeler. If you enjoy snorkelling, choose the rocky beaches in Turunce.
The city will not be boring with children of any age. Two water parks, a dolphinarium, an old fortress and a caravanserai, the ancient city of Knidos - all this can be visited without leaving the resort.
Marmaris is better known as a youth resort, and therefore there are many discos. For families with children, Icmeler is more suitable - a village with good family hotels, a developed infrastructure and the absence of noisy nightlife.
July is not particularly good for sightseeing. Most of the attractions near the seaside resorts are located in the open air, and the baking sun can spoil the experience. If you still want to see at least a couple of attractions, plan your trip in the morning or evening hours.
What to see during your vacation? There is something interesting near every resort.
- Ancient cities... On the Mediterranean coast you can visit the ruins, on the Aegean - Knidos, Ephesus, Priene, Didyma.
- Natural beauty. River canyons -, - it is advisable to visit with children who are capable of long pedestrian crossings. But a trip to, even small tourists will master. Among the natural attractions, one should also mention the Damlatash cave, located in the center of Alanya, and the Tynaztepe cave in the Taurus Mountains. The Tynaztepe corridors open for visitors stretch for one and a half kilometers, and still a walk through the mysterious underground seems to be a shame short.
- Architectural landmarks. In the picturesque old city of Antalya, Kaleici, you want to walk at least every evening. In Alanya and Marmaris, medieval fortresses and museums located there deserve attention.
- Museums. The expositions in the resort museums are small, so you can go on a tour even with preschoolers. Children may well be interested in the Antalya Marine Biology Museum, the Yoruk Park Ethnographic Open Air Museum in Kemer, the Antalya and Alanya Archaeological Museums, the Underwater Archeology Museum in Bodrum and the Kusadasi Steam Train Museum.
Family entertainment
Beach holidays can quickly get boring. It's good that the resorts or near them have fun for the whole family.
Antalya has a clear leadership in organizing family leisure. Works here Aqualand water park, Aktur Park amusement park, oceanarium, zoo... Children are also impressed by the Sandland sand sculpture complex (it is open late, so it is worth planning a visit in the evening).
Marmaris is not so losing: there are water parks in its arsenal Aqua dream and Atlantis, dolphinarium and singing fountain.
From Tekirova it is easy to get to Kiris and, if you rent a car, to the small Kumluca Cistern Hill Zoo, home to herbivores.
Near Side there is a large-scale one.
In the vicinity of Avsallar, there are two remarkable places for family recreation at once: the best water park in Alanya and an interactive maritime center.
Holidays, events and festivals
The middle of summer is one of the most important holidays in Turkey - Day of Democracy and National Unity... It is celebrated in memory of the events that took place in 2016. Then there was an attempt at a military coup in the country, which escalated into armed conflicts on the streets of Ankara and Istanbul.
The plot of the putschists failed, but more than 200 people died in street battles, thousands of people were injured.
To honor the dead and pay tribute to those who supported the current government, the President of Turkey established the Day of Democracy and National Unity. On July 15, festive events are held in the cities of the country, and in all institutions it is a day off.
In the Turkish holiday calendar, July is also marked kadirga festival... It takes place on the third weekend of the month on the Kadirga plateau in Trabzon province and gathers fans of folk traditions. There is no better place to watch folk groups perform, learn about Turkish customs and taste the real local cuisine.
Throughout July, international festivals last in Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir and other cities. Music and Sea Festivaltakes place in Cesme, ceramics festival - in Kutahya. But a very special action is organized in Akshehir - Khoja Nasreddin, a cunning and witty hero of oriental fairy tales, rides through the streets of this city on a donkey.

Italy
It is in July that the most magnificent Italian flowering begins - huge asters begin to bloom with colors throughout the peninsula, and the first bunches of grapes are filled with sweetness. With a fairly high humidity, a quite comfortable temperature remains - up to 30 degrees. In the northern regions of the country it is comparatively cooler - up to 25 degrees.

A huge number of resorts are located along the coast of Italy, forming the Riviera Lazio, the Venetian and Tuscan Rivieras and other seaside resort areas. Of particular interest are the island possessions of Italy.

And also Capri is an amazing place that acquired the status of an island, where the European and then the American elite preferred to rest.
Like other seaside resorts, Hellas has a high beach season. Daytime heat sets in almost all over the coast and on the islands, when everyone hides in the shade at lunchtime. Beautiful landscapes with turquoise sea, white sandy beaches, amazing ancient monuments, surfing, diving make your vacation in Greece delightful. In Halkidiki, Peloponnese, Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos, the air temperature during the day is from + 29 ° to + 33 °. It is cooler in Thessaloniki + 28 ° -29 ° С.
The water in the entire water area warms up to + 24 ° С. The most comfortable weather (+ 29-32 ° С) is in Skiathos, Corfu, Thassos, Crete. The coolness of the night (+ 20 ° -21 ° C) compensates for the test of the daytime heat. July is not the most suitable month for excursions to unique ancient sights. Short sightseeing tours take place in the early morning hours and in the evening before sunset. It is best to do this in an air-conditioned rental car.
But on the other hand, a beach holiday on a delightful coastline, with crystal clear water, in many places marked with the Blue Flag, is a real pleasure. The water near the coast warms up to + 29 ° С, which is very good for children. You can perfectly spend your vacation on the islands of Rhodes, Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos, Chalkidiki, Zakynthos and others. Boat trips, fishing, diving, staying in luxury hotels, evening entertainment with sirtaki, karaoke - unforgettable days in Greece.
- - private sandy beach, 9 swimming pools with fresh and sea water, water park, kids club, animation

Bulgaria offers a slightly different type of vacation. It offers tourists beautiful sandy beaches, as well as friendly Slavic service, which still retains the full flavor of Soviet sanatoriums. You can stay in one of the famous hotels, the cost of living in which is almost two times lower than that of their Western European colleagues. Almost all hotels in Bulgaria have a three-star status, an acceptable level of comfort (for not too demanding clients) and affordable prices.
And in combination with excellent climatic conditions, the best qualities of which are revealed in the first days of the month, these resorts retain the title of the most popular and affordable for annual holidays. The air and water temperature reaches 29 and 25 degrees above zero, respectively. There are especially many vacationers with children, for whom the Bulgarian beaches have a special expanse - the entrance to the sea is shallow, the bottom is without flaws, and experienced and responsible personnel daily monitor the cleanliness of the beaches. There is a huge number of water parks and other types of entertainment that young vacationers love so much.
Vietnam
Vietnam does not differ in stability and uniformity of the weather regime, and therefore it is worth being more careful when choosing a resort, especially when the rainy season begins. So, the resorts, which are located in the north, delight with the hot tropical sun and the highest humidity. The air and water temperature during the day is stable at around 30 degrees.
Among the northern resorts, attention should be paid to Sapa: beautiful mountain landscapes, stepped green terraces and the French poetics of architectural delights, which appeared here mainly in the 19th century. One of the best southern resorts is Ho Chi Minh City, a huge metropolis that embodies the rapidly developing Vietnam. In summer, the rainy season is in full swing, the air temperature is slightly lower compared to the northern resorts - 28 degrees, but the water retains its temperature, not having time to start cooling.
During this period, it is best to go on vacation to resorts in the central part of Vietnam, since the lowest humidity rates are recorded here, and the dry season begins. It is worth visiting Nha Trang, which, thanks to its advantageous geographical position, does not suffer from abnormal heat (up to 36 degrees), freezing at around 29 Celsius.
This small town embodies eternal summer and fun: beautiful sea views, a bright scattering of bars, clubs and casinos, ancient temples and ruins.
Thailand
Typically, July is the peak of the rainy season. The air becomes humid due to heavy rainfall, which, however, usually falls on the ground in the evening or at night. Stuffiness covers the resorts of Thailand with a wet blanket when the sun is at its zenith. Nevertheless, it is July that is considered the best time to visit resorts such as Krabi, where the daytime temperature reaches only 30 degrees, as well as Bangkok and Pattaya, where the air warms up a little more - an average of 32 degrees.
At the same time, the water temperature is relatively the same in all resorts, reaching 25 degrees. Despite the fact that Bangkok is not intended for a beach holiday and you can swim here only on the rooftops of hotel complexes, it is best to start your acquaintance with Thailand from here. It is worth taking a closer look, and in the shadow of a huge bustling metropolis, historical buildings and hundreds of temples are discovered - all city arteries are permeated with Buddhism.
Krabi, despite the popular mistake of many travel agencies, is not just an island within the waters of Thailand, but a whole province, which is an area of \u200b\u200bincreased concentration of modern resorts focused on the beach format of recreation. The most picturesque national parks of the country are located within Krabi.
Pattaya is perhaps the most famous resort city in the Gulf of Thailand and fully justifies its fame as a tourist Mecca. There are not the cleanest beaches here, but it is in this city that you can taste the most exotic food and entertainment, and you can visit the most beautiful beaches at any time - ferries depart daily from the local pier to all parts of the country.
- - located on the seafront, on Jomtien Beach, 3 free-form pools, several restaurants and bars
- - located by the sea, 2 swimming pools, a water park with water slides and exciting attractions, several restaurants
- - located right on the coast, in a secluded bay, 10 bars and restaurants, kids club
Croatia
Other popular countries with access to the sea can boast of similar climatic conditions. Croatia offers guests accommodation in a nature reserve with a temperate Mediterranean climate. There is practically no daytime heat here, as well as nighttime temperature drops. Tourists come here to recuperate and to join the traditions of a healthy lifestyle.
This trip is especially suitable for children. The sea coast is decorated with slender rows of coniferous forests, which saturate the air with a mass of nutrients and trace elements. Well, you can diversify your leisure time in the process of numerous excursions. For 2017, tour operators offer seven-day tours with accommodation in excellent rooms at prices from 33-39 thousand (hotels with two or three stars Adriatic, Plavi, Jadran Residence) to 78-79 thousand (five-star hotels Sheraton Zagreb Hotel, The Westin Zagreb) ...
Montenegro
The Montenegrin Adriatic is a fertile place for beach-sea vacations when the swimming season comes here. It almost never rains, the daytime air warms up to + 29-30 ° С. The clear waters of the Adriatic Sea become like fresh milk - + 25 ° -26 ° С (Budva, Podgorica, Tivat) If you add a variety of beaches, irresistibly beautiful views and relatively inexpensive prices to the pleasant weather factor, then Montenegro is hard to resist.
Luxurious sandy beaches prevail in the resorts of the Budva Riviera (Becici, Przno, Rafailovichi, Kamenovo). There are good sandy and pebble coastal areas near the Tivat, Kotor-Risan bays, in the vicinity of Herceg Novi. You can choose the peninsulas Grabl and Lustice, with cozy coves. In Kotor, Perast, Dobrota, Prcanj there is a pebble or rocky coastline.
Almost every resort town in Montenegro is a storehouse of cultural and historical monuments. There are ancient monasteries, fortresses, churches, palaces in Kotor, Petrovac, Ulcinj, Cetinje, Herceg Novi, the islands of St. Stephen, Sveti Nikola and others. Boko-Kotor Bay, Skadar Lake, canyons, mountains create stunning landscapes from which it is impossible to look away.
A divine piece of the Black Sea coast, according to legend, presented by God to the Abkhaz for hospitality, fascinates with landscapes. Picturesque peaks, mountain lakes, mysterious caves, ancient monasteries, forests - the richness of Abkhazia's nature is not inferior to Montenegro. Despite the devastation caused by the war, the small country strives to welcome tourists with comfort.
Prices for accommodation in hotels are much lower for private owners than in other Caucasian resorts. The weather here is mainly dictated by the Mediterranean subtropical climate. Although the relief features of different places bring their own nuances to the weather, practically throughout the entire territory the daytime temperature reaches + 29-30 ° С. In Gagra, surrounded by mountains, at noon the air heats up to + 35-37 ° C, and due to insufficient air circulation, humidity rises.
It is cooler in Pitsunda, Sukhumi, Novy Afon. In Pitsunda, New Athos, immersed in lush greenery, there are many shady corners where it is easy to hide from the heat. Water everywhere near the coast reaches a comfortable + 22-24 ° С. Beaches in Abkhazia for every taste: pebble sandy-pebble and sandy. Their infrastructure is somewhat inferior to the quality of European beaches. There is a rental of water sports equipment: aquacycles, inflatable equipment, etc.
Great aesthetic pleasure is provided by excursions to unique natural objects: Ritsa, Goluboe, Mzy lakes, Novoafonskaya cave, waterfalls, Bzybskoe gorge, reserves. Children especially enjoy visiting the Sukhumi monkey nursery, which has begun to revive. Fruit and berry abundance pleases tourists: pears, peaches, figs, melons, dogwood.
The United Arab Emirates is perhaps the hottest corner of the Arabian Peninsula. The sun rises here early, and at 9 o'clock in the morning it is already hot. Despite the heat and high humidity, the Emirates attracts tourists at all seasons, and after a few days, guests, adapting to the heat, find options for an exciting holiday. At noon, the thermometer creeps to + 42⁰C in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, + 40⁰C - in Dubai and + 37⁰C - in Fujairah. In the evening after 19.00, when the sun sets over the horizon, the heat drops to + 30⁰С and the streets start to revive, and by night it becomes more comfortable - + 27-28⁰С.
For beach holidays - low season. There are almost no people on the snow-white sandy beaches. You can sunbathe early in the morning until 9.00 to escape the scorching sun under a canopy. The water in the sea is warmed up to + 30⁰C, so that during swimming there are no burns, it is recommended to go into the sea in a T-shirt. Basically, vacationers swim in the pools available in each 4 * and 5 * hotel complex. They cool the water to + 25⁰C for comfortable bathing.
The most favorable weather for sea recreation is on the eastern coast in Fujairah, where the sea is warmed up to + 26⁰С. Divers are going here to dive into the spectacular underwater world of the Gulf of Oman. July in the kingdom is a time of total price reduction: in hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, gaming and entertainment complexes. Inexpensive shopping and memorable rest are guaranteed!
A huge range of opportunities for sea relaxation and effective treatment are provided by the resorts of Israel with clean, well-maintained beaches on three seas: Red, Mediterranean and Dead.

Indonesia, Bali
Paying a lot of money for the tour, I want to know why Bali is attractive at the height of the summer season. The weather this month is hot, but it is easily tolerated thanks to the dry southeast monsoon prevailing in winter. This month the island has sunny days, and the temperature in any corner of Bali does not drop below + 30⁰С.

It offers excellent opportunities for divers to explore the amazing underwater world with 100 species of coral and 3 thousand species of colorful fish. The only disadvantage for a vacation can be an increase in prices by about 40% for vouchers, so in order to save money, they must be booked 3-4 months before the expected date of the flight. Then July, spent at sea in Bali, will be remembered by you as a paradise of the world.
The beaches of the Dead and Red Seas, the sacred Jordan River, the ancient Pink City of Petra and many other attractions are the Arabian state of Jordan. In July, scorching heat sets in here, when the thermometer readings reach + 33-36 ° C, or even higher. In Aqaba, on the Red Sea, according to experienced tourists, the rest is much better than in Egypt. Spacious beaches, a convenient gentle entrance to the sea, coral reefs, diving centers, luxury hotels make the rest interesting and complete. The water warms up to + 27-28 ° C, a constant light breeze brings coolness.
Excursions to the famous "Pink City" of Petra, with 800 prehistoric sites, with the monasteries of Ad-Deir and Al-Khazneh, will bring a lot of positive emotions. The entire stretch of the Dead Sea coast of Jordan is a natural health resort. Sea water, containing a complex of mineral components and salt, heals many diseases.

You can come here for 1 day to receive medical procedures using the services of the paid Amman Beach.
Hot and sunny weather awaits you in Malta. The thermometer rises from +30 to + 33⁰C during the day, and the sun shines 12 hours a day, extending the daylight hours to 14 hours. A comfortable temperature is observed until 11 o'clock in the afternoon and with the arrival of dusk, when the air cools down to + 21- + 23⁰С. The humidity on the island is relatively high and the winds blow over the island for almost the whole month.
The main occupation will be a stay on the coast. During the hours of comfortable tanning, the water is already warmed up to + 24⁰C, so swimming here is a pleasure. You will not meet poisonous jellyfish, snakes and predators in the water area, therefore, safe swimming is ensured. Despite the absence of winds, waves are observed on the sea, but they are not so great as to interfere with swimming.
The sea near the coasts is perfectly clean. All beaches - paid and free are distinguished by impeccable grooming. Most of them are pebbly, with a small width, so they can be crowded.
Lovers of sandy shores should head to the island of Gozo, which is part of the Maltese archipelago. There they can soak up the golden beaches: Marsalforn bay, Xlendi Bay, Hondoq ir-Rummien, Mgarr ix-Xini and red sandy beaches - Ramla Bay and San Blas. There are also magnificent sandy beaches in the north of the island: in Sliema, Bugibba, in the south - in Birzebbuja and Marsaskala in the eastern part of the island. All resorts of Malta have hotels of different categories - from budget 3 * to comfortable 4 * and 5 *, with restaurants, swimming pools and private beaches.
Morocco is a kingdom stretching in the northwest of Africa, washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. To gather in these wonderful lands, you must first familiarize yourself with the climatic conditions at the country's resorts. On the Atlantic coast - in Agadir, the temperature is + 34⁰C during the day and + 24.7⁰C - at night, the ocean is cool - 19.7⁰C. In Casablanca, during the day, about + 29C, at night - + 21⁰C, the sea - + 22⁰C. On all coasts of Morocco, most of the beaches are municipal, regularly kept clean.
At the Mediterranean resorts - Tangier and Saidia - the thermometer stays stable in the region of + 30⁰С during the day, and at night - + 20⁰С. The water in the sea warms up to + 23⁰С, there is practically no rain. Tangier is not only a resort, but also a major port. The city is full of luxury hotels and branded shops. The entire coastline is sandy, stretching for 6 kilometers, with little beach infrastructure.
Another famous resort is Saidia. The beach strip of clean crisp sand stretches for 14 kilometers here. The hotels are oriented to work on the “all inclusive” system, so there are many Russian tourists in the city. Of the resorts in the Atlantic Ocean, the largest is the white city of Agadir, located on the southwestern coast. More than 40 luxury hotels, a delightful white sandy beach area with shallow waters up to 30 meters, many restaurants and attractions.
A memorable beach vacation for "wave tamers" surfers can take place in Essaouira. It is a resort and port city, notable for its gently sloping seabed, shallow waters, strong tides and waves, bohemian entertainment establishments. Casablanca is an exotic place with well-maintained white beaches and ancient attractions. Despite the heat, thanks to the ocean winds, it is easily tolerated here, but the water in the ocean remains cool.
Portugal can also please tourists with good conditions for recreation on the seashore. Of course, against the background of its European competitors, this country is famous for its cooler climate: the air warms up only to +25 degrees, and the water temperature is 19 degrees above zero. But do not forget about the island of Madeira, which is very popular with holidaymakers. Comfortable conditions for swimming and sunbathing remain here until October!
Madeira itself is famous for its attractions and amazing nature. Such a trip will please all lovers of clean air, pristine beauty and natural food. In addition, those who love quality wine will find something to do here. And so that the vacation has also a health-improving effect, tourists are offered to become addicted to the local mineral springs.
The only drawback of a Madeira holiday is the steep slopes down to the sea. To be on the shore, you have to overcome more than a dozen meters along steep stairs. But if you can afford a room in an expensive hotel, you should not worry about this, because hotels offer their guests the opportunity to descend to the sea by elevator. It is also worth choosing Portugal because the famous regatta is held here - a competition on Portuguese muliseiro boats.
The numerous fairs and the Ria holiday will also help diversify your vacation. Wine connoisseurs are advised to head to Bombarral, where a traditional wine festival takes place in the middle of summer. Of course, a trip to Portugal cannot be called affordable. The cost of exciting tours starts from 50-60 thousand rubles. But if you want to go to this amazing country on your own, you can save a lot.
Resorts of Russia
Do not forget about the possibility of a good and affordable vacation within your home country. The resorts of the Black Sea and Azov coasts are gaining popularity, on the territory of which a very attractive climate is established. Tourists who come to heal their children will also find a resort to their taste.
For young vacationers, sanatoriums and children's camps located in Evpatoria, Yalta, Feodosia and Sudak are suitable. Do not discount the excellent conditions for recreation on the coast of the Krasnodar Territory, Anapa and Gelendzhik. There are excellent offers for tourists with a minimal budget for their vacation.
Their attention is deserved by the deserted coast and bays of the southern coast of Crimea, which are so fond of tourists that they have a rest in a "wild" style. The air temperature in Crimea reaches its maximum level and will hold at the level of these indicators until the beginning of autumn. In other resort areas of the country - Sochi, Anapa, etc. - the air warms up to 27-28 degrees with a plus sign, and the water temperature is kept at 22-23 degrees.
Do not forget about the availability of domestic resorts. You can get to the Black Sea or Azov coast both by land and by air. Family tourists prefer to travel by private car, and young people often use hitchhiking services.
Tourists are not required to issue a visa or international passport, and the money saved can be spent on nice gifts for relatives or to stay for a few more days at the resort you like!
Crete in July is the height of the high beach season. Moreover, "high" in the literal sense of the word: this month it is usually very hot on the island, and spending time somewhere other than the beach is not the best solution, especially during the daytime. However, with a competent organization of the trip, you can go around the whole of Crete without much harm to health and with minimal material and time costs.
Weather in Crete in July
Comfortable weather in Crete in July may seem only to the regulars of the beaches - this is one of the hottest and driest months of the year.
In order not to get burned, you should come to the beach in July early in the morning or in the late afternoon: the sea will be warm in any case - 24-26 ° C, but the sun is much more gentle.
The seasonal phenomenon of Crete - meltemi - the north wind, which “ventilates” the island from morning to evening, but absolutely dies down by night, helps to escape the heat. In addition, low humidity, rarely exceeding 50%, contributes to an easier perception of the sun.
July in Crete is one of the hottest months of the year
Temperatures in Crete in July may vary slightly, depending on the province (nome). In the north of the island it will be slightly cooler than in the south, but the water will warm up 1-2 degrees higher. However, it is better to leave for, if any, early in the morning.
It will be a little easier for independent travelers in July: there are car rental offices in any town. But ordering an air-conditioned car to ride around the island without a guide and dear compatriots is better in advance and through a major European car rental price comparison service [link]. So you can save money very pleasantly.

- Heraklion: during the day + 26 + 30 ° C, at night + 19 + 23 ° C, water - about 25 ° C

In this, the situation on the island differs little from other similar resorts in the Mediterranean Sea, which simultaneously enter the high season. An opportunity for savings in July remains for those who are used to booking their holidays in advance, as well as for fans of last-minute offers. IN

Europe
Near East
Baltics
Africa
Asia

Where it's not hot in July
In July, you can hide from the heat in the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia need a Schengen visa) and in the Kaliningrad region.
